Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[ojaw]

anyone else feel like things are just getting crazy expensive now? I have more spending power than I've ever had in my life but I feel like the jackets and boots and stuff are getting more out of reach lol

I argue with people about this all the time, our actual purchasing power has gone up over time, not down. The difference is the the amount of things we ‘need’.

As a broad trend over the long term you’re right, but that doesn’t really apply to the examples he’s mentioned there. Quality English-made boots, for example, have absolutely rocketed in price over the last few years for a variety of reasons.
